Which intelligence would we use to watch 100 news stories at super fast speed on India TV? The offer comes from News 100. It is, indeed, very fast! I think the news, though, is the top stories in India. It is a bit hard to tell - it goes very fast.
What about 5 apps to read today's news headlines, quickly - News Bot, Liten.in, News in Shorts, Swipe News. These are great names for news-reading apps.
Who offers the fastest breaking news service in the world? Quora asks these kinds of question for me. And answers indicate that Twitter and Google News Alerts are fast, but better yet is DATAMINR - it offers newsrooms and wire services the ability to mine twitter info around breaking developments and verify news for fastest delivery to the user.
A more recent question has come to mind. Which news should I pay attention to? Or not pay attention to? Rolf Donelli, author of the Art of Thinking Clearly, says news is to the mind the equivalent of what sugar is to the body: "Something appetizing, easy to digest, and highly destructive in the long term".
Headlines postulate that television news is not dying, but that print newspapers are dying faster than you think, or at best, that the future of print journalism is unclear. There is a lot of news that comes our way: here's the case of news about news.
Have you heard about the seven intelligences? I took a course on this in the early 1990's. Multiple intelligences were detailed by Howard Gardner in his 1983 book, Frames of Mind. He initially listed seven:
linguistic
logical-mathematical
musical
bodily-kinesthetic
spatial
intrapersonal
interpersonal
He added an eighth (still being considered)
naturalistic
There is a ninth candidate being examined:
existential
The Harvard Graduate School of Education Project is known as Project Zero and on its website it describes multiple intelligence and the human brain.
"In comparing MI to traditional psychological view of intelligence, one might find it useful to think of them analogously as if they were computers. Belief in a single intelligence implies that humans possess a single general purpose computer, which can perform well (high IQ), average (normal IQ), or poorly (low IQ).
Belief in MI theory implies that human beings possess several relatively independent computerswhere strength in one computer does not predict strength (or weakness) in the other computers. Put concretely, one might have high (or low) spatial intelligence, but that does not predict whether one will have high (or low) musical or interpersonal intelligence."
Here's a YouTube presentation describing the seven intelligences. There are many others listed below it. Some with Howard Gardner who is active in the Harvard Project.
We see the stunning new feature at Longwood Gardens - The Grotto. "The Grotto is a secret space of peaceful solitude at the heart of the Main Fountain Garden. Of the earth but otherworldly, the Longwood Grotto is conceptually both the source and termination for water in the Main Fountain Garden."
